Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup for the day! After a great day of club football action in the top division of England, we are here to provide you with the biggest transfer stories of the day!
So, without further ado, let’s begin!
#5 Mourinho wants to sign Hazard
This is not something that I am making up. This is something that came straight out of the mouth of Jose Mourinho in his pre-match press conference ahead of United’s match against Chelsea, which, by the way, ended in a 2-2 after Ross Barkley’s last-minute equalizer.
Back to the topic, who wouldn’t want Eden Hazard, anyway? While it was reported that Eden Hazard was the chief instigator of the player revolt against the Portuguese during his time as the manager of Chelsea, the duo seems to have a decent relationship.
Trending
At first, it was Hazard who claimed that he would love to work under Mourinho once again and now, the Portuguese has reciprocated the feeling as he claimed that his relationship with the Belgian is good and that whenever he is the best player in the Premier League, Chelsea end up triumphant.
"We had a good relationship, we were champions together, so I think the feelings are good," Mourinho said.
"History says that when Eden Hazard is the best player in the Premier League, Chelsea is the champion.”
He then added that he would love to see him at the Old Trafford but was also aware that there is no way on this earth that the Blues would sell their best player to a rival team like the Red Devils.
"I would love to have him in Manchester United but I don't think Chelsea will sell him to Manchester United.
"It's a non-problem because Chelsea are led by intelligent and experienced people in football and I think they would never sell Eden to Manchester United."
#4 Raul Sanllehi speaks about Jan window
Arsenal are on a roll now but there are still some cracks in the team that could be filled. For starters, they are almost set to lose Aaron Ramsey on a free transfer in the summer at best case.
As a result, they need reinforcements and according to the head of football, Raul Sanllehi, Arsenal won’t be as active in the winter market as they were in the summer but refused to completely say no to new signings.
"I'm not a strong believer of the winter window, normally it's used for emergency cases when things are not going the way you planned in the summer window," said Sanllehi.
"That doesn't mean we're not going to use it, I don't know yet, it's early in the process. If things go as planned, the winter window should not be as relevant as the summer window.
"First we need to know what the needs could be, what opportunities are in the market. We're not actively looking into that.”
#3 Skriniar speaks about United links
The Serie A is a good place to target for Premier League clubs as some really talented players are making a name for themselves in Italy. One among them is Milan Skriniar, who has caught the attention of Manchester United.
Skriniar himself is no stranger to the rumours as he claimed that he is honoured to be linked to a club managed by a coach of such high stature. He, however, added that he is not thinking about joining the Red Devils as he is very happy at Inter.
"When some coach like Jose says that he is looking for a player like me or somebody else, it's always nice, but I don't know why these rumours continue," he told ESPN FC. "I've not said anything to anybody, just what you can see on the web.
"Even if Jose is one of the most famous, best, greatest coaches in the world, it's not something I think of because I'm playing for Inter and am happy here at Inter.
#2 Madrid open to selling Asensio
The Red had almost signed Nabil Fekir in the summer any only backed out of a deal after finding out a problem in his knee. The Merseyside outfit wanted Lyon to lower his price by some margin but the French outfit refused to budge.
As a result, there is a good chance that the Frenchman might never be signed and an alternative might be considered at this time. According to Mirror, who quote Marca as the originator of this story, Julen Lopetegui is open to the idea of selling Marco Asensio should the price be right.
The report adds that for an amount of £100 million, the Galactico would be open to selling him and, apparently, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in acquiring the signature of the Spaniard, who hasn’t had the best of starts with the Merengues this season so far.
#1 The Spurs boys
Tottenham Hotspur are not really an active club in the transfer rumour mill but they are somewhat always lingering here – but not in the way their fans would like. It is almost often the case that Spurs players are linked with moves out of the club – and today is no different.
According to Don Balon, Real Madrid want Christian Eriksen and are going to take a bold step to have the Dane at the Bernabeu. Apparently, the Galacticos are willing to let go of Modric in a swap deal that would see the Croat go back to London while the former Ajax starlet joins the Blancos at the Bernabeu.
Meanwhile, in another report from the same outlet, we have the rumour of the day. According to the report, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are seeking to acquire the services of England captain Harry Kane.
The report also adds that Spurs might ask in excess of €200 million.
